These three podenco pups arrived with Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends last week. Just over 5 weeks old and tiny wee things.

‘They have come from a local hunter who had a litter and asked through a friend a few days after they were born if we could help with some of them. He offered to keep them until they were weaned, all girls. We have to continue to build relationships with the local hunters and the owner of these has asked for us to keep them updated with the pups’ progress.

Thank you to Kay Barry who collected them for us and delivered them. it’s been a really stressful couple of days for various reasons and it was really helpful that she took a bit of pressure off us…. oh bliss, more puppy poop!’

After asking for name suggestions on her facebook page, Bev reports…

‘Meet Cordelia, Viola and Portia – 3 podenco pups, all girls 6 weeks old..We are taking them for a check up at our vets and if all ok, they will be available for adoption. These 3 are a voluntary handover from a local hunter.

Thank you to Bella D’galga who suggested these names after strong Shakespearean women and I thought it was apt in recognition of all the women who marched recently against oppression and violation of women’s rights.
